About this sunscreen

Cirem Skinsurance Protection Sunscreen SPF 30 is a pure mineral sunscreen built on zinc oxide alone, with no chemical filters. It keeps white cast low and wears with a balanced finish, feels lightweight, and is unlikely to sting, and its low pore-clogging profile is commonly friendly to sensitive and breakout-prone skin. It can work okay under makeup. Protection is moderate rather than high, and the overall score is 68.7/100, a reasonable everyday SPF 30 option.
